Protonex Technology has unveiled two advanced power managers targeting the lucrative military and security sectors.
The SPM-611 and SPM-612 significantly reduce a soldier's logistics burden by eliminating excess batteries as well as redundant power sources. The sophisticated devices are capable of matching virtually any load - including those required by radios and computers - to available power sources such as batteries, fuel cells and solar equipment.
 The SPM series incorporates new advances in component miniaturisation, high-efficiency conversion, intelligent management and battery charging technology. In addition, the units offer monitoring and discharge prioritisation, as well as advanced harvesting and scavenging abilities from alternative energy sources. The power managers feature full SMBUS and USB connectivity along with six configurable power ports.
"Our new soldier-worn power managers are a universal, invaluable power solution for soldiers, addressing both on- and off-mission requirements," explained Greg Cipriano, VP of military development for Protonex. "These unique systems deliver specific portable power capabilities that are currently unavailable to the soldier and further complement our growing power system portfolio."
Protonex designs and manufactures compact, high-performance fuel cell systems for portable power uses in the 100 to 1000-watt range. The company's fuel cell systems are orientated towards military, commercial and consumer off-grid applications. Protonex's stand-alone portable power solutions are often hybridised with existing power technologies.
